Description

Trump vs the BBC: The $1 Billion Showdown - In this explosive episode of The Ian Collins Show on Talk, Ian breaks down the story shaking global media: Donald Trump suing the BBC for $1 billion, and what that means for the future of Britain’s national broadcaster.


With Tim Davie and Deborah Turness both resigning amid mounting pressure, former BBC presenter Sally Jones joins Ian to ask whether the Trump threat was the final straw and if the BBC can ever learn to leave politics at the studio door.


Then Ed Gemmell, leader of The Climate Party, defends the existence of COP summits, arguing they’re vital to Britain’s economic and environmental future - potentially worth £20 billion a week to the UK economy - while others question whether Net Zero conferences have lost all credibility.


From BBC bias and licence fee reform to Trump’s billion-dollar lawsuit and the future of COP, Ian Collins pulls no punches on money, media, and political hypocrisy.
